Good Riddance - Yesterdays Headlines lyrics

Running short on imagination

Still we waste it all on words

Spoken without the benefit of our minds

The candle burns, the edges framed

Our best intentions waste away

And everybody loves the things we've done and on, and on, and on

Life appears weightless

For everyone but me

This world grows heavier everyday

Deterioration

Growin' old before my time

Nobody cares, never mind

We all prey on a vain condition and the hoplessness of it all

These days there's nothing we can trust

The dreams we made, we've seen them fade

Trampled by our sad parade

Yet we're so pleased with what we've done, and on, and on, and I'm done

Life appears weightless

For everyone but me

This world grows heavier everyday

Deterioration

Growin' old before my time

Nobody cares

The mind breaks down when it dies

Our machine's doubled in size

To orchestrate the grand collapse

I see us all trapped in its path

There was a time we were unbound

As if we'd never hit the ground

But just like rain we can't keep from fallin'
